What Can You Predict About the Future of the Music Industry?
To be honest, I have absolutely no clue as to what the future will hold for music in general. It seems that music in general has sucked for so long now. I haven’t been excited about new music since 2010! The barrage of below par pop music and hiphop annoys me like nothing else can. How the standard of music is dropped astonishes me.
Insane lyrics and repetitive music does not impress me or make me want to listen to it. While the 2000s and the 2010s were bad as well, it seems to have gone even more downhill. It is now in a blue hole in the ocean. Luckily for us some of the classic artists from the 70, 80s & 90s are still around but making much new music doesn’t seem to worth much to them. CD sales are a far cry from what it used to be and live performances and tours are where they make most of their money from.
While there are a couple of bands that are new and excite me, I lean more towards the back catalog of my favourite bands and singers/musicians. That brings me a whole of comfort and still makes me want to sing along.
